And *this* is why IETF is still producing documents that vendors can not
implement. Loop back to about 50 messages earlier in this thread, thanks
so much.
We're not talking ivory tower theoretical routers. We're talking about
devices that can stand the heat out there, like "be able to apply different
rate limiting classes to incoming BGP SYNs from trusted networks, and to
ICMP packets from the world". This MUST be done by the hardware, and it
MUST be able to look at *Layer 4* information.
*sigh*
And then people wonder why operators stop bothering with IETF processes.
